Sanchez over Gomez, Mexico`s Biggest Win in the Rivalry a Moot one?

[TheGreatA]

Gomez beats anybody at 122 but 126 simply wasn't his weight. He wasn't very big, especially compared to Salvador Sanchez and Azumah Nelson. Their records at the weight indicate that Sanchez was by far the better fighter at featherweight and he proved it in their fight.

Excuses about not training hard enough for a fight can be made for anybody. However I do believe that Wilfredo Gomez gradually got away from his earlier smooth boxing style into more of a slugger.

Also Morales never wanted the third Barrera fight, He didn't even train correctly or even wanted to win that fight.

Is this a game? The obvious reason is because he beat Pac and Jones and he had a more exciting style. His win over In Jin Chi is a win I rank pretty high because he was a tough mofo who I think could've given Barrera fits. Morales' resume is just better than Barrera's period.

Totallly agree, everything, you pointed out, is spot on!! Green K

i like barrera better than morales the beating he gave nazeem was beautiful

I think In Jin Chi was better than Hamed. I mentioned Chi in my last post too.

Sorry but preparation to the fight IS part of the fight.

Out of all the mexican boxers, I got

1. Salvador Sanchez
2. Julio Cesar Chavez (Even though he's a **** in real life)
3. Erik Morales (Great Heart/Determination, Really entertaining)
4.Ricardo Lopez (The reason I have him as 4th, Is because he only challenged himself
within his weight class and fought a lot of C class fighters)
5. Marco Antonio Barrera (Same as Morales, Also a mexican version of floyd lol)

Yep ...I dont think partying and drinking was in his training schedule....It's like saying Buster Douglas win over Mike Tyson was moote because Tyson didn't take Buster serious and didn't train properly...Cmon man...

Salvador Sanchez was a fighter who many thought would go onto become a multi-weight world champion, possibly up to light welter. Gomez was never successful at 126, even against LaPorte he looked shaky at times.

Sanchez was the tall, lanky type while Gomez was the short, stocky type. To some observers this may seem like Gomez was bigger because he had muscles but in fact he was facing disadvantages in height and reach.
